Hi all, went into County LR the other day for oil filters and just out of curiosity I asked which oil they used.. The chap said " We've only ever run our td5s on 10/40" he told me not to use 5w30/40??

It's only a different viscosity. Most people use 10w40 all year round.

IMO the guy who told you to not use 5W oil is an incompetent schmuck:mad2: , never let your car on his hand if you want what's the best for it...i'n not gonna start again that oil theory...here is a "flavour" http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/oil-grade-how-much-269610.html ...as a matter of fact it's not only about viscosity, but i'm not gonna argue

Cheers guys I no everyone probably have different opinions.. When my old man got his d2 last year the last garage to service his used 10/40 and it ran quieter than 5w30/40 so may try it myself next time round

it will run even quieter with 15W50 if that's important
... each on it's own thoug, what i said is that telling somebody to not put the recommended 5W... oil in a Td5 is not something to be respected at all

how long are you temps below freezing? are they below freezing for 3-4 months at a time , or just a day here and there.

.......told you not to use, or said you didn't need to use...? Rather different, and I'd be amazed if a LR dealer would tell you the former, while many of us do the latter...... Aint life confusing?!?!?!? A
